When will the next exam be held? I showed up to take the walk in exam twice in the end of the September when I found out about the exam on monster.com I waited on line for an hour before the exam started and 30 mins before the test started a test proctor came outside and said all the seats were filled. He said they will have testing going on all next month (October)but I have not seen any postings.Can I submit my resume for future consideration?Thanks.

I have taken the exam for police communications technician, attended an interview, medical and psychological interview. The background investigation is pending. It has been about 3 months and have not received any call yet from the background investigator for an interview. I had completed and finalized the background questionnaire online. How long does it normally take hear back from the investigator for an interview after it's been finalized and submitted online? And who can I contact to check the status since they do not want applicants contacting the investigators?

i recently completed my medical, psy and written exam as well as completed my background investigation. i am in the process of making my school schedule and wanted to know if anyone knew the hours the training would be if i am called so that i can atleast make my schedule around that.

I missed my medical exam, is there anyway I can get a list of future sates before the class begins?
Rachel- The questions are basically common sense and memorization, you dont really have to/need to study.
To the person who completed the psych and the investigation what was it like? What did they ask?
